My PSA Has doubled. What now?

A friend of ours had a PSA of 50 and never had prostate cancer. He died years later of a completely different cancer that had nothing to do with prostate cancer.

His prostate was huge, but biopsies never showed anything.

Never heard of him being diagnosed with BPH, he hated going to the doctors so probably never had the opportunity to be diagnosed. He died within months of being diagnosed with lymphoma because he refused to see doctors even though he was sick for years.

Keep up routine checks, but you may not be a prostate cancer patient.

Absolutely - my friend’s PSA was 75…no cancer. BUT, as you and everyone has echoed, be SURE with every available tool in the box.
